Comment : I have wanted to expressed the changes of written books from ancient times - represented by Stone (Ceramic in this case) at the bottom of the pics... Then Bamboo... (err...couldn't find one with text engraved, so omitted), followed by wood, (also omitted because I could not find a small nice wood) ..present time - paper and as we know it.. expressed via the background stacks of books ... and the future, plastic ?, no...! but digital content .. represented by the DVD as in e-books..

The Harry Potter was just to catch your eye !
I used my daughter's room - books everywhere !

Ok ok, I also have an entry under the title "Book of the Seas".
This is my all-time favourite book about my all-time favourite subject from a photographer that I can only admire: Philip Plisson

I wanted to combine photography and books in a special way when I remembered that this has already been done before: In more professional ways, than I'll ever achieve. So this is my tribute to the greatest photographers in the world and the pictures of places unknown that they bring to us. I'm grateful and humbled...

You can see all the technical properties of this photo here. But believe me, they're not important!
The only challenge for me was to reproduce the picture in the book as lifelike as possible (without hiding that it's just a pic from a book)...

Addition Caption: "... you tricked me, this is less fun than previously indicated..."

Photographer Commentary: I took this photo of this particular book as it was one I read in my childhood, and even though I can't remember the story, the front cover, a bright saturated red with gold embedded text looks from a visual standpoint, very inviting, and even though one should not judge a book by its cover, its cover should be appreciated.
